# El Camino Health

> El Camino Health is a not-for-profit healthcare system that has served Silicon Valley and the South Bay for more than 60 years.

With 471 beds, about 4,480 employees and 1,585 physicians, it blends a community-rooted mission with the technology-forward instincts of the valley it sits in.
